Professor
I am a Professor of Wireless Communication Systems and the Head of the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.
I graduated with a BSc (Joint Honours) in Electronics and Mathematics from Keele University in 1994, and a PhD in Telecommunications from the University of Portsmouth in 1998.
I worked for one year as a Research Associate and was appointed a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering in 1999. From 2007 to February 2017, I held the posts of International Coordinator of the Faculty of Technology and Principal Lecturer in the School of Engineering at the University of Portsmouth.
I joined the University of the West of Scotland as Assistant Dean (International) of the School of Engineering and Computing in February 2017. In March 2018, I became the Assistant Dean (Global Engagement) and was responsible for the School of Engineering and Computing, School of Science and Sport, and School of Health, Nursing, and Midwifery. I became Interim Dean of the School of Computing, Engineering and Physical Sciences in November 2018 and then Head of Computing Division in May 2019. From 2020, I was also the Director of The Scotland Academy - Wuxi, China. This was a joint institute between the University of the West of Scotland and Wuxi Taihu University approved by the China Ministry of Education. I was responsible for developing the curriculum, setting up and managing the Scotland Academy from 2020 to 2023. I have extensive expertise in managing engineering (Mechanical, Electronic and Civil Engineering), computing and physics TNE programmes. I have managed programmes and partnerships in many countries including China, Singapore, India, UAE and Ghana. From 2019 to 2023, I also managed the Scottish Centre for Enabling Technology, a commercial arm of the school.
I re-joined the University of Portsmouth as Head of the School of Energy and Electronic Engineering in August 2023. In August 2024, the School of Energy and Electronic Engineering, and the School of Mechanical and Design Engineering merged to form the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.
